Chinese holidays - Guangzhou trip

As some of
you might know, this week it was a special 3-day holiday as the way to celebrate the
victory over Japan in the World War II. I have been here for a month already
and this holiday was the longest time off work I have had here so far. So I
thought it would be a waste of time not to go travelling.

Guangzhou
was the right choice for that, one of the biggest cities in China with
population over 14 million and lots of tourism attractions, it was a very
promising trip. Below I highlighted some of the must-see places.

I started
off with one of the most famous attraction of the city. One of the iconic
buildings that makes up Guangzhou’s famous skyline and is also known as the
world’s tallest TV tower.

I would
recommend to go to the Four Seasons’ bar on the top floor – one of the best
places to enjoy spectacular view on the Pearl Delta River and the whole city, while
sipping a drink or two.

Beijing Lu

Beijing
street is a place to be if you want to shop and practise your bargaining
skills. Or simply feel the atmosphere of Asian market stalls and try one of the
most amazing street food. Personally, I highly recommend Pekin duck wraps – it is
the best snack.

To sum up, it was a really great trip and definitely one of the most memorable adventures I have had during my stay in China.

After spending nearly 4.5 months back in China, it is time to retrace my steps and go back home. During my internship in Zhuhai I have learned, laughed and experienced so much more than I was expecting when I hopped on that plane back in August.

Zhuhai is a lovely little city and much more modern than I thought at first! It was great to be in China again and to notice my Chinese improving with each day. I ate all the mooncakes during Midautumn Festival, had the great opportunity to visit Guangzhou twice, celebrated my birthday at an awesome island festival and met so many wonderful people.

Guangzhou is also an amazing city, only an hour away by train. Some of my fondest memories of China were made here: from doing an awesome boat tour and having drinks on the 99th floor with a view of the Canton Tower, to strolling around and drinking rose tea in an Antique street and visiting the Guangdong Museum.

Through my work I have gained so much experience about sourcing. Before, it kind of fel…

ODMasia has expanded its operations in early 2016 to the Philippines where we currently employing graphic & industrial designers and cold callers. We are constantly looking to add people to our office and work together with our Filipino staff.

Cebu is an Island located in the middle of the Philippines and is a really cultural but beautiful place with beaches, you expect from the Philippines and Indonesia. The water is blue and the world under the water is as wild as above. Sharks, turtles and corals. A paradise for diver and people who love to go into the nature after work.

The life in Cebu is not as touristy, as you might expect from this area of the world, but this also makes the place really interesting and you can really fall into the Filipino culture. The good thing about the Filipino culture is that nearly everyone is able to speak English, which will make your life much easier than in China for example.

Cebu has a lot of tourist attractions. one of it is this Fort San Pedro…
